OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Sometimes, even in a world of ever smaller components, size does matter. If your workhorse computer needs to be a Clydesdale, then one of those Shetland pony mid-sized towers just won't do, and Gigabyte knows that.

Three self-illuminated fans (one 120mm front panel and two 120mm rear panel) help keep it cool, as do the interchangeable transparent acrylic/steel mesh ventilation side panels. And everything is designed to make assembly faster and easier for your technical staff (or you, if you build your own): one-touch lockable latch on the detachable side panel, tool-less device assembly, seven hassle-free expansion slots, and front and side panel locks offer physical security. Compatible with ATX and microATX motherboards, with plenty of drive space. It's pre-modified to allow you to upgrade to liquid cooling, too.

Got some heavy-duty work ahead of you? Then maybe this heavy-duty workhorse is what you need. Check it out for yourself!

Amazing case!

white Reviewed By: Bloink on 5/27/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: This is an amazing case! It fits my two 8800 GTX graphics cards inside. Very cool in both meanings of the word. Much space for Hard disk drives, dvd drives, and more. Good looking.
Cons: The only one i can think of is that it is big... but what can you expect with a full tower case.
Other Thoughts: This carse is great. I have been building computers fro a long time now and this case is one of the best that I have worked with. I do not know what people mean when they say that large graphics cards do not fit. I found that they fit very well. People also say that it scratches easily but it doesn't, if you lug it around everywhere then it will but thats what u get. And it is quiet. If u have a raptor in it then it will rattle but that is not to the fault of the case, that is at the fault of the hard drive. It is a noisy hard drive and so it will make it a loude case. The only thing I can recomend is that you use the mesh siding. It keeps my computer 10 degreese cooler with it on. Only use the plexi if u are watercooling. Great case and thankyou Gigabyte!

A supreme disappointment

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Beautiful to look at, great ventilation, tons of room, tool-less bays
Cons: Discounting the thick and sturdy door & front panel assembly, this has the absolute flimsiest and thinnest metal I`ve ever seen in a case. Not much thicker than a soda can. At least I know now how thin 1.0 mm aluminum is.
Other Thoughts: I got Gigabyte`s Poseidon case awhile back, and it`s the highest quality case I`ve ever owned. So I figured the Aurora would be more of the same...WRONG! It is gorgeous to look at, but now that I own it, and have discovered that Gigabyte also resorts to cheaping out on their products (like 99.99% of the other case manufacturers), I won`t be looking to Gigabyte again for cases. Definately NOT worth the money, considering what you get as opposed to what could have been. A huge disappointment.
Manufacturer Response:Dear customer,
please understand, the reason for having 1.0 aluminum body for 3D Aurora 570 is that regardless of the full tower size, the case can still be light in weight. In addistion to that, the quality look comes from our hair brush finished surface.
Poseidon case is mid tower with SECC houseing, therefore even with thicker body, still don't increase too much weight.
GIGABYTE is dedicating in making high quality products. I am sorry that our 3D Aurora 570 can' satisfy you. However, I sincerely hope you can choose other GIGABYTE products. Gigabyte Technology will always be here providing you our best support.

Awesome with slight modifications

white Reviewed By: on 3/30/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Excellent case with a good study front door. The case is indeed massive, which I enjoy the most as it allows a great deal of handiwork to be done inside if need be without feeling cramped. Make sure to utilize the holes in the backplate near the motherboard for your wire management as it will lower your temps.
Cons: As others have mentioned, the supplied fans are very weak, and oddly there's really no additional places for fans...the three spots are really all you get for this massive case. Luckily however, due to it's sheer size with about 10 bucks and a little ingenuity you can get a significant performance increase. More on that below.
Other Thoughts: If you want to increase your air flow but don't want to cast away the low RPM LED fans that came with the case, you can do what I did. First I removed the toolbox. Then I snagged 2 Yate Loon High Speed fans ($3.99) and some industrial grade velcro strips with a sticky back. I put 1 fan on the inside grill near the HD area with the velcro (where the big vent holes are) helping to move air brought in by the front fan. Immediately this dropped my CPU temps by 3c and my GPU temps by an impressive 8-10c. I drilled several small holes (neatly in a pattern) through the clear plexi window and put a second intake fan right there on the inside, dropping the CPU temp by another 2c and the GPU temp by another 5c. Note: You don't have to drill the plexi like I did, you could just install the fan on the mesh side panel, but I like using the plexi as it's easier to see the insides and it lets less dust in.

very good case

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: pretty roomy for your drives, easy install, good cooling copaciy with room for liquid cooling is a bonus.
Cons: the bracket with the box to hold the cables in is a little bit in the way, especially if you are using a gtx 200 series gpu. Very tight squeeze to get my 285 into the PCIe slot on my asus p6t.
Other Thoughts: some people think its flimsy but i don't if you managed to dent this case then you are abusing it and need to take better care of your belongings.

I loved this case on Newegg, to bad they wanted 60 to ship to a APO. I went out locally and got for 45BD (119.37USD) and didnt have to wait 2 weeks. Shame on Newegg for inflating there shipping cost, but in the long run it saved me 50.00 not counting the wait. I bought all but the case and vid cards from newegg, after seeing local prices and the 300% raise in shipping cost newegg charged, i think im going to quit doing business with them, i'm sorry to say. still it is a AWSOME case
